• Furthermore, I request that these documents be posted for public review in the "Public <br /> Communications" section of the agenda packet for the upcoming City Council meeting on <br /> Tuesday, February 18, 2026. <br /> The public's right to transparent government is paramount. Given the evidence of a $3,000 <br /> expenditure to a non-profit outside our jurisdiction, during an active political campaign by the <br /> sponsoring official—I am formally petitioning the City Council to agendize a discussion on the <br /> following for the February 18th session: <br /> • Formal review of the Special Event Sponsorship Policy to determine if current <br /> "guardrails" are sufficient to prevent the "gifting" of Santa Ana taxpayer dollars to out-of- <br /> city entities. <br /> • Establishment of a bright-line prohibition on out-of-city expenditures exceeding $0.00 <br /> without an explicit, documented, and pre-approved "direct benefit" finding by the City <br /> Attorney. <br /> • Council discussion regarding a resolution for Mandatory Personal Reimbursement of <br /> the $3,000 in question. <br /> I intend to appear at the February 18th meeting to further petition this Council. <br /> The residents of Santa Ana deserve to know why their representatives feel empowered to treat <br /> the City General Fund as a personal political ATM for events in neighboring cities. <br /> Please confirm receipt of this email and verify that the attached documents have been added to <br /> the public record and the upcoming agenda packet. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Mark Spratt Ward 3 Resident & Homeowner West Floral Park, Santa Ana <br /> +1-562-506-6703 1 mspratt76@gmail.com <br /> 2 <br />
